rejointed
A leather binding that has had one or both joints
repaired or replaced. Replacement joints are the
length of the book and about 34 inch wide, the
exact width being determined by the size of the
book and the distance the strips are to extend
underneath the spine and sides. The strips, which
are pared moderately thin, have a long feathered
bevel on all sides. While paring does weaken the
leather, if it is too thick along the line of the
joint, it will tend to lever itself off the spine
each time the cover is opened. (69 , 236 )
